To Briley, or Not To Briley
My question is: Do I want to put Briley Thin Wall Chokes in my Repro?
Background: I am new to the PGCA and excited about Parkers. I recently purchased a 28 Ga Repro 2 Barrel Set, PG, BTFE, SST - 26" IC/M & 28" M/F. This gun having been shot moderately before I bought it, is a shooter and not a collectors piece. I am mostly a O/U Skeet and Trap shooters. I am very happy with this gun, and shoot it well. I am used to longer barrels and am mostly interested in shooting the 28" barrel.
I am looking for guidance:
1. Is it a breach of any unwritten PGCA rules to put Brileys in a Repro? If I showed up with it at a SxS Shoot, would I be considered a barbarian or something worse.
2. Should I see if I can find another 28 Ga Barrel, so I can leave this set in tact.
3. Should I just modify the 28 Ga Barrel I have?
4. Should I sell off or trade my 26" Barrel for a 28", being I don't plan on shooting the 26" much (note: I saw someone looking for a 26" some time ago).
5. Will I kill the resale value by doing this?
Thanx,
Billy
